Argentina’s possible rivals in the qualifiers
There are four possible scenarios for the albiceleste if they qualify for the next phase.
In the event that Argentina manages to stay in first place in the Group A and consequently, the qualification for the quarterfinals will be faced with the country that takes second place in the B Groupin this area there are Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela either Jamaica.
If they manage to advance to the round, but in second place, they would face any of the previously mentioned countries but whoever managed to win first place.
The current American and World champion undoubtedly has a squad worthy of the competitions he won. Argentine players are currently active in the best leagues in the world, and they have a great present.
It will probably be the last Copa América for emblematic figures of the Argentine National Team such as Angel Di Maria and Lionel Messi, and they continue at an optimal level showing that they can lead the albiceleste towards the two-time championship. While other players to follow closely are those who have had a tremendous season in their clubs, such as Exequiel Palacios, champion in Leverkusen and key piece to lift the cup, Lautaro Martínez in Inter Milan who was the scorer of the Italian team who he led to win the scudetto or the same Julian Alvarez who, despite not having many minutes at Manchester City, in each entry, he performed and collaborated with goals or assists.
Emerging talents
Alejandro Garnacho He has not yet found his place in the starting team, but he is part of the future of the National Team and wi
ll go to the Copa América in search of adding minutes. He has been a figure at Manchester United this last season at just 19 years old and is the one who has the greatest projection within the team. Of the rookie footballers, he is the one who is best positioned for the project.
Valentin Barco, Leonardo Balerdi and Valentin Carboni They are the new additions to the squad and although they probably will not appear in the final cut, their names are exciting. Clearly, his campaigns have been very good for him to become part of the squad.
